Uddrag
The short story “The White Cat” by Jim Brannin was published in 2017. It begins with a physically disabled old woman named Hattie writing a letter.
The letter is about some cats she sees in her backyard all the time. She has not decided who she will address the letter to.
Hattie does not care about getting old, but she feels uncomfortable due to lack of opportunities. She lives above her two grandnieces and their mother, but they do not have a close relationship.
---
In the short story, the events are told with several flashbacks about Hattie’s past. The main character in the short story is Hattie.
She lives in the attic, where she feels lonely and isolated, but at the end of the short story, she tries to reconnect with her son, Georgie.
The short story “The White Cat” has a circular structure. It begins in medias res, where Hattie is writing a letter about the cats in her backyard
but without knowing who to address it to: “She knew she had to write to someone about the white cat and his family – but to whom?”
